Synchrony, a premier consumer financial services company, and Fanatics, the global leader in licensed sports merchandise, today launched the FanCash Rewards Card by Fanatics, a new offering that will provide fans with a customized payment method for licensed sports merchandise, timeless memorabilia and collectibles and incredible sports experiences.
 
The long-term partnership will offer fans a new way to purchase merchandise, apparel and memorabilia for their favorite teams and players with a Fanatics-branded credit card, a first of its kind for the industry-leading apparel and fan gear provider. Among the benefits, cardholders will receive personalized merchandise offers, exclusive access to unique sports experiences and automatic enrollment in the Fanatics FanCash loyalty program, including an initial FanCash bonus after the first eligible purchase. Cardholders will be rewarded with a 5% FanCash reward on each and every purchase.
